Seems like a gamma absorber may be a good source of energy for space ships flying near a star. The heavy electrons may induce catalyzed fusion like muon catalyzed fusion in hydrogen.
I am becoming more and more convinced that the SPP phenomena is related to LENR. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Axil Axil To: vortex-l Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2014 9:49 AM Subject: [Vo]:Widom & Larsen have a patent application on a SPP-based gamma absorber: http://www.google.com/patents/WO2007030740A2?cl=en abstract Gamma radiation (22) is shielded by producing a region of heavy electrons (4) and receiving incident gamma radiation in such region. The heavy electrons absorb energy from the gamma radiation and re-radiate it as photons (38, 40) at a lower energy and frequency. The heavy electrons may be produced in surface plasmon polaritons. Multiple regions (6) of collectively oscillating protons or deuterons with associated heavy electrons may be provided. Nanoparticles of a target material on a metallic surface capable of supporting surfac plasmons may be provided. The region of heavy electrons is associated with that metallic surface. The method induces a breakdown in a Born-Oppenheimer approximation Apparatus and method are described
